- So the conditional distribution of "appears at rank 1" given "is the best answer" is not what the user's inference needs — the user needs the reverse conditional, and the construction guarantees the forward one is non-trivial even when the reverse carries no information.
This sourceShows that the ranked slate is generated under a presentation/selection rule (position bias) decoupled from true relevance — clicks reflect what was surfaced and where, not whether a result is genuinely the best answer.
